Hi, this is Carol E. who made the string quilt for To the Top. I made the string pieces 7-inches, finished to 6.5″, then set them on point as you see. It was just a random choice because the first square I trimmed looked good at 7 inches. Not very scientific! Thanks, Mary for your beautiful work. The binding does look fantastic. Wish I could see it up close.

Oh Mary – this looks terrific! Another inspiration for my drawers full of strips. I think I have that pantograph but I’m not sure. I know I’ve never used it. If I do I think I’ll put it on the other 30’s Hotel Hope quilt.
